We won't have the carriages yet. I wonder what will happen to the intercity fleet? Yet again another Tory back door to privatisation.

It's the same as the last Government proposed, only a bit slower.

I remember seeing the Intercity 125 advert with Jimmy Saville. That fleet is supposed to be replaced. Can I buy one... Very Happy
